The news, as with so much from Trump, came via Twitter just before 5 pm on the East Coast. "I am pleased to inform you that I have just named General/Secretary John F Kelly as White House Chief of Staff," Trump tweeted . The only Washington insider remaining in Trump's inner circle is Kellyanne Conway, a pollster-turned-strategist with close ties to Vice President Mike Pence. Kelly's appointment as chief of staff is reflective of Trump's long-running fascination with military men in his upper ranks. The dismissal of Priebus removes the last major impediment to letting Trump follow those instincts at all times.
